This character was influenced by the sharpness of Dexter and design qualities from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, which I see as being iconic, representative shapes.
A *BIG* inspiration was Mac (Foster's Home...), only if he were older, in a rock band phase, and became way too passive in lifestyle. I can imagine this character being all like, "...(silence)...whatever..." then he'd go back to playing his bass again.
He's more of a secondary character (we don't see his eyes, so there's less connection between us and him).
So, he's mostly in the background, but he is that quiet friend you can depend on to agree with everything you say (regardless of his answer, "whatever").
CHARACTER DESIGN TIP 1: try to give your characters props & or setting that best reflects them, or tells a story. You can show your character at his/her best, or worst, or anything in between.
